How to stop hidden files appear in the search?

I've hidden files on my computer that still appear in search, even if hidden files are set to not be visible. Is it possible to prevent this? I even tried to rename the files, but the original names are always in the search. Any advice?

Hi John,.

I suggest to change the Indexing Options:

Steps to follow:

a. display folder that you have hidden.

b. open the start menu.

(c) in the search bar, type "Indexing Options". Click on "Indexing Options".

d. click on 'change '.

e. use the 'Indexed locations' window to access the location of the folder that you want to hide, and clear the check box. Click on 'OK '.

f. close "Indexing Options".

g. re - hide the folder.

h. disabled folder will not be displayed on the search function.

NOTE: To do this, the files you want to hide should be in a separate folder, you are hiding the whole folder.

  • How to stop Motion 5 to rename the items?

    How to stop Motion 5 to rename the items?

    For example, I have a folder named "Box" inside this folder are 5 additional folders and in these files are text and circles/squares etc.  Once I have copy and insert the name of the parent is "copy of zone 1", the names of children is now "copy print"1", 1 paper copy etc, and children are also name with a copy to the front and a number in the back.  If you like 50 items in the folder, you need to go to each name and remove the copy, then move to the back of the name and remove the number.  That would make 100 corrections.  If you duplicated "Box" 10 times that would be 500 times I have to delete the copies and 500 times I have to delete the number.  I am an organized person and I do not confuse names like "copy paper 27.

    I only want that this

    'Copy of movement case 12-11'

    to look like this

    "Movement block 12.

    It takes a lot of time to remove the copy at the front and out the number on the back of name.

    In Autodesk Maya 3D they do something similar, it turns 'apples' in 'pasted apples 1 ", so created a script that deletes all the text"stuck"in the name and number on the back the text name.

    I think it's a pretty silly renaming procedure.  Adds text to the front and rear.  Makes me wonder where they got their education.

    David

    David, for starters I can't duplicate what you describe, where things are added to the front and back automatically, you may need to clarify some things.  Looks like what you're saying is you have Group in movement named "Box" If you copy and paste the group, the name of the new group is "copy of copy of box?  Or you add 'Copy from' before the name of the Group at some point before making a copy/duplicate of the Group?

    Movement, like the Finder and many other applications, will add an object in double with 'copy', then add numbers after that. The structure of renaming seems simple enough. For example:

    1. start by a group of layers / named 'box '.

    2. copy and paste "Box" will give you "Box copy.

    3 copy and paste 'Copy of box' will give you «box copy 1"»

    My tests, if "copy" part of the name at the end, only the numbers will be added and increase gradually.  I think that if you get something like "Box copy copy" you have added manually "copy" at the beginning of the name, which is the only way that I could reproduce what you describe. If you don't want to have to remove 'copy' twice, don't start a layer name or "Exemplary" program group. Motion is probably not check if the copy is at the beginning, at the end.

    For what is a way of not having a copy or a number added to the end, it is not a.  It is probably a requirement of how the movement initially creates duplicates of layers/groups and make sure, that it is not destroy the existing layers. This is probably the best. This is similar to the creation of the records or documents in the Finder, just moving, you can go back and rename multiple items with the same name once they are created. If you are uncomfortable with writing scripts, sounds like you are, maybe it's a good option, otherwise you will have to do some manual changes as you go.

  • How to stop multiple self-switching to the address bar every time I open a new tab and try typing something anywhere outside the address bar?

    How to stop multiple self-switching to the address bar every time I open a new tab and try typing something anywhere outside the address bar? As something just wants me to use this integrated search when you type something non-Web-address in the address bar and press to enter. And the most ridiculous thing is that happens repeatedly on as every second, as I just got off the address bar and start typing again, but still he passes me in the address bar, then 3, 4 times like that. And the result is that I don't see the address of this page.

    I think that its has something to do with my AVG Antivirus, because it started the same time a Nation AVG started to appear in each new tab I opened (and which is irritating as me, I've read here on support.mozilla.org and it seems that the only solution is to completely reinstall Firefox, but I don't want to lose all my settings) but when I type something in the address bar and press enter It opens the search results in Google.

    Please try to help me, I love Firefox but I have to switch to Chrome until I fix this.

    Thanks in advance

    First of all, please update Firefox 32. 22 is no longer support is not safe. So, let us know if you still have this problem. Update Firefox to the latest version

    If an icon is left in the menu instead of the search bar box it still works?

    As long as you can reach the icon, it should work.

    Also, I'm confused about all the toolbars are different names, as location, search, address, etc.

    Address, search and so on are all located on the toolbar. The bar with the web address is sometimes called the address bar. Some users have more than one toolbar and move the search for her box (which gives more space all around). And he is called to the search bar.

  • When I open firefox amazon appears in the search bar that I can't remove

    whenever I open firefox amazon appears in the search window and I can't remove it.

    Note that your list of details of the system shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time you start Firefox.

    The user.js file is present than if you or another software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be here.
    You can check its contents with a text editor (right click: open with) If you do not create this file yourself.

    The user.js file is read whenever Firefox is started and initializes the preferences to the specified value in this file, so the preferences set via user.js can be changed temporarily for the current session.

    Delete a possible user.js file and files numbered prefs-# .js and rename (or delete) the file prefs.js to reset all the prefs by default, including the prefs set via user.js and pref which is no longer supported in the current version of Firefox.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

    Google does not use the Description so much more. You can always add it, and it might be useful to other search engines and other purposes. But Google structured content, good keywordsand values a good title !
